Small changes lead to remarkable results from "summary" of Atomic Habits by James Clear
When you finally break through that plateau and achieve the results you've been working towards for so long, it can feel like an overnight success. But the truth is that success is not the result of one big change, but rather a series of small changes repeated consistently over time. These small changes may seem insignificant at first, but they build upon each other like compound interest, gradually increasing in impact as you stick with them. It's like the story of the British cycling team, which went from being a mediocre team to dominating the Olympics by making tiny improvements in every area, from the rider's clothing to the pillows they slept on. The power of small changes lies in their ability to bypass our brain's tendency to resist sudden, drastic changes. When you try to make a big change all at once, your brain sounds the alarm bells and pushes you back to your old habits. But when you make small changes, your brain doesn't see them as threatening, making it easier to stick with them in the long run. By focusing on small changes, you can break down your goals into manageable chunks and create a roadmap for success. Each small change may not seem like much on its own, but when you add them all up, they lead to remarkable results. It's like building a brick wall – each brick may not seem like much, but together they create a strong and lasting structure. So, instead of trying to make a big change all at once, focus on making small changes that you can stick with over time. Whether it's improving your habits, your skills, or your mindset, remember that small changes lead to remarkable results. It's not about making a big splash, but about creating a ripple effect that grows stronger with each small change you make.
